Craig Smith and the Utah Runnin’ Utes are looking to rebound from a tough road loss as they travel to face the Cincinnati Bearcats on February 11. Utah (13-10

Cincinnati Bearcats get a rematch with Utah Tuesday, this time at Fifth Third Arena. Here are keys to a Big 12 win from Scott Springer.

BYU junior Richie Saunders started just three games the previous two seasons but has since become a full-time starter and the Cougars' leading scorer. He scored 21 points against UC in Provo, making 5-of-7 from behind the arc. Overall, he's a 45% 3-point shooter. Defensively, he leads the Cougars in steals with 27.

BYU hammered Cincinnati 80-52 a few weeks ago amidst UC's terrible offensive stretch to start league play. They just beat that full game mark in the second half against UCF (53 points) and are capturing some swagger entering another crucial game.

The Runnin’ Utes face the Bearcats in the back end of the first of a pair of two-game road trips in Big 12 play.
